This is true. Christianity is still springing up all over the place, like the fountain of living water it is, we just don't see all those won for Christ reported by the media. Yeah, I sort of think we're dead set in this direction right now, and it's only going to pick up steam.

Adherence to Christianity is declining in many first world countries today. Christian persecution by sword is increasing elsewhere. It has become increasingly fashionable to hold Christianity in derision on this great mecca known as the internet. Counterfeit pharmakeia-addled spirituality...

Ya Core, I want to engage in discussion, but I dont have time to watch all of those videos. I have a backlog of stuff to watch and do already. Why not make a thread featuring maybe one succinct video and then pose your questions and impressions on it? That would be a better way of inviting...

Wide open question. I think it's possible that it is in a way related. Which is why we are to work at the job we are given as though we were serving the Lord.

Okay, here's the thing. Christ said this is something we must do in order to be saved. We must believe in Him. If we don't, then we do not know God and we have not attained the promise of eternal life. John 6:28-29 Is this still works based now salvation and heresy?

I admit I probably should have phrased what I intended to say a lot better than I did but I was in a hurry. Sorry.

You need to read the entire statement I made, @Preacher4Truth, instead of taking it out of context. This is literally your post #266 in the other thread You position is that any decision for Christ on our part would constitute works-based salvation. I've already shown how that's wrong.

Yes. What are you getting at with it?

When I was called to come to Christ, the option to ignore that call and go back to drinking the next day was still there. The concept of resisting the Holy Spirit is entirely biblical, the I in TULIP is not. Acts of the Apostles 7:51

What is the purpose of posting this particular scripture?
